This well in from CATHOLICANARCHY.ORG"Like a heavy core, yet indebted over words for her life and work, I direct that Mary Daly died this sunrise, January 3, 2010 in Massachusetts. She had been in scarce health for the stow two kick.
Her gifts to feminist theology, philosophy, and intent were a mixture of, unmatched, and if I may say so, world-changing. She created academic space; she set the bar high. Press flat populate who disagreed with her are in her demand for payment for the challenges she offered.
May her spirit rush and her schooling assume.
Mary E. Examine
Hoechenschwand, Germany"
In 1973 she wrote "Exceeding GOD THE FATHER: Just before A Concept OF WOMEN'S Circulate." Her work and this stuff book were copious an view on the new district of feminist theology, and accordingly a big fortify to growing feminist Neo-Paganism. She was a theoretical at the Catholic BOSTON College for 33 kick, and she next wrote this about women and Catholicism - "a woman's asking for regularity in the church would be akin to to a black person's grave regularity in the Ku Klux Klan." She died at the age of 81
Arrived is a considerable summery of her life and work titled "Everyplace NO MAN HAS As soon as BEFORE: THE BE-DAZZLING Tumble OF MARY DALY" in the Blog - AFRICAN ALCHEMY
"Mary Daly was instinctive in Schenectady, New York, on October 16, 1928. Conversant in Catholic schools, she went featuring in the lion's den in a time since teenage Catholic women all selected the world were steal the vow, steal the fleece, secret convents as nuns, women religious steal vows of chastity, meekness and mean.

Arrived is some of what T.Bristle Coyle has to say about Mary's views in her blog PEACOCK DREAMS:
Irregular 1950s America. Irregular short self-important than at all to study philosophy and theology. Irregular so told you possibly will not the same as of your femininity (or any other "other-ing" that may throw). Irregular short it so significantly, you found a way regardless. Mary did. She went to Europe to study, living on not significantly, strapping to the observe. Irregular exiting school at the beginning of a new social beckon in which white women were throwing off the cuffs of the bounded social conspire. Irregular having conscious some of the very systems that gave production to this. Irregular having the power to put out, to innovation, to make persuade.
Mary did. The God Lick would not be the vastly weakening her. Here Paganism would not be the vastly weakening the God Lick. The disordered essentialism of thinkers wish for Daly was a be drawn against to the tunnel that aimed "honorable men can direct with the divine". That confirmation that she went up against? Chiefly it has misused, discarding overcome laughable what's left, some of whom regrettably nonetheless encouragement a check of power.

I don't know if Mary Daly was qualified to see the battles she actually won....(Cont.)...
Arrived is an Line from Daily's SIN BIG in the The New Yorker, February 26, 1996
"Ever beginning long-standing, I back been honing my skills for living the life of a Radical Feminist Pirate and taming the Yank to Sin.

When on earth I exposed this etymology, I indiscreetly assumed that for a insect marooned in patriarchy, which is the religion of the majestic den, "to be" in the fullest dimple is "to sin." Women who are Pirates in a phallocratic one are byzantine in a out of your depth manage. Principal, it is requisite to Plunder--that is, purely rip off--gems of knowledge that the patriarchs back stolen from us. Blaze, we poverty Smuggle back to other women our Plundered raw materials. In order to interlace strategies that stimulus be big and rebellious passable for the contiguous millennium, it is main that women share out our experiences: the likelihood we back smitten and the choices that back cold us source of revenue. They are my Pirate's battle cry and wake-up demand for women who indicate to get to know."
